It depends a lot on size. I'm sure some cost a lot less than 20k and i'm sure there are some out there that are way more. I know I was flipping thorough my latest issue of Car and Driver and saw in the Tire Rack advertisement that tires for 26" wheels cost over $1000 a piece. So with that in mind, i'm sure the wheels that those tires are made for are $5000+ each. 
Bling bling! On this site http://www.rimgod.com/wheelsearch.htm, some of the 26s are $10000, but they're not spinners and most certainly won't fit on a civic.

sounds like you work at McDonalds (no offense). I saw what looked like plastic spinners on an old Corrolla the other day. I would venture to say they were no more than $220.
Spinners = "Please somebody for the love of god look at me I need attention and I spent all my money on these stupid rims that will be out of style in 2 years to get it!!!!
Look - my car is stopped but the wheels are still spinning!!! YEAAYYYYY !!!!

$20,00 spinners on a $7000 car??? Sounds like an episode of Pimp my ride......
Although currently the spinners are like the spoke wheel craze of a few years ago.
As I'm sure MJSLude99 can attest, you'll see $2000 spoke wheels on $1000 cars all day long in Albq.
The real spinner wheels are some of the heaviest wheels I've ever seen....ask any spinner owner about unsprung weight and you get that deer in the headlights look!

spinners were cool like 2 years ago. As soon as I saw them in Peoria, I figured they would get old pretty quick. I can't believe ppl can put the hub cap spinners on cars but I wouldn't put a wing on a fwd car so whatever.
Spinners are becoming members only jackets fast.

LMAO!! Ain't it the damn truth! Same saying goes for ricers too. All that money spent on gay "Look at me!! I'm dying for attention!!!"-exterior mods that already went out of style 2 years ago, yet it's still high in popularity.

Ahhhh I remember those jackets, and I'm only 19. So true though.
